Debuting on our rankings is the formidable Sigrid, who made her mark on the catwalks for the past two seasons before the recent development of printwork strength. The quirky cover for i-D’s 300th Anniversary Issue proves just how much she has captured the hearts of those in the industry. And with more than a few notable FW09 campaigns lined up, she’ll be far above #25 soon enough.

Campaigns for Alberta Ferretti/Phi, a well-selected list of FW09 runway shows, and an almost-unexpected Vogue Italia cover/editorial appearance has propelled Kinga back again into the top tier of the industry. Even after all these seasons, she continues to shock and awe, and we are thrilled to see where her never ending potential will take her next – especially since a drastic hairstyle change just took place!

This Canadian dancer never ceases to amaze clients and photographers with her refreshing look. And with couturiers like Jean Paul Gaultier as support, we can certainly expect even more unique results as she continues her craft. Her choice to serve as E! Canada correspondent was a fun change, but it unfortunately contributed to a lack of runway points. However, she will likely bounce back in no time, especially with her stint as part of the latest GapDesign campaign.

After a couple of seasons as Gucci and Chanel’s female star, Freja continues her dominance both on the catwalk and off. What has been stopping her from positioning now is less lucrative campaign bookings – but closing Chanel Couture SS09 as Karl’s bride (For the second time) and a return to the Chanel campaign for next season are, no doubt, another beginning for better things to come. Did we mention that she just won Dansk Fashion Awards’ Best Danish Female Model for the second year in a row?

Last month, Caroline managed her second Vogue US cover in two years, and it’s no doubt further proof of Anna Wintour’s personal devotion to this Brazilian stunner. She returns to the publication this month as well, with a Numero editorial also thrown into the mix. Before long, she just might conquer even higher positions.
